THJ is barely EverQuest. Oughta to be a tag on Twitch for that type of thing.

It's the "new thing" though with 2000ish players.

In the absence of Quarm and THJ I reckon the new TAKP TLP would have seen 500+

I'd play if someone loan me a computer! :P

I think it's a very small subset of the emu community who get excited about "the most classic server" and also want to multibox. I would say generally those two interests are in opposition.

A single-box launch with a bit of promotion leading up to it, creating a discord for the community and reassuring players they can completely fix the shit TAKP client with zeal (it's amazing) might have been a healthy population regardless.

The devs said one of the goals was 'feeding new players' into the main TAKP server after the merge. Realistically how many new players are going to be there in the end? I kept saying "both" of the players here, but I think that's too optimistic. Not taking shots at the players and certainly not the devs, but the execution doesn't align with that goal. They put a lot of weight behind the preferences of the few people on the TAKP forums, with the expected result in my opinion.

THJ is for people who are too cool to admit they would love EQ live.

live is so much worse than THJ, when i played for a month to blitz through the reboot expansions like Empires of Kunark and Torment of Velious my old live server was dead af felt like 20 real people and hundreds of bots farming, even the family guild i joined for a week to do all the content, every one of them was running MQ unattended also.

i assume the progression servers aren't any better, just more actual people playing the shittiest EQ clone available and paying for the privilege

This server any good? Quarm was awful. Are those people, Quarm staff, involved in any way with this new server?

[Ekco]

no idea who is involved, saw 95% of the eq streams were playing the server like a month ago so checked it out, gameplay loop was good and the multiclass stuff was fun considering it added a shit ton of theory crafting from class AA combos, they thought of inflation and added a Casino npc that had tons of pet illusion clickies, mounts and other shit from the 30 expansions available model wise but the content was at Velious expansion wise

played a BST/CLR/MAG and used a dragon Tooth to have 3 pets, shit was fun reminded me of witch summoner build in path of exile

quit after getting 300 aas cause i basically just fucking hate everquest in general now

It's fun I've been giving it a go. As always a meta emerges and everyone just jumps on board so out of what's probably 100s of possible combos everyone's gone for 5 or 6 of the most efficient ones over what's actually fun/quirky.

Some people are on over 2000 AAs already and are stomping Kerafyrm, others like me are well behind and Luclin is coming soon. I can see that either as I'm gonna have lots of content banked (as you can do everything solo, just scale up your power) or that "can't keep pace, why keep going" like filthy casuals do [You must be logged in to view images.

Fun to try, your mileage may vary.

I think they were referring to the TAKP TLP, not THJ.

TAKP and PQ are different dev teams with different goals
